Re: [Histonet] Help please from Cerner Millennium users

From:

"Cynthia Robinson"

We have Cerner Millennium and we do things the way you explain with no problem. We have had discussions regarding the split of cytology and tissue and the way it looks on reports. We now use Cerner PowerChart on the clinical side so that has helped physicians with finding all the reports. Would you like to discuss options off this discussion thread about statistic capture, cytotech involvement, database report management I would be happy to chat with you?

We are six weeks into go live with Cerner Mil= lennium and our Medical
Director (who could not be bothered to give much in= put during the
build) has suddenly decided that the way Millennium splits u= p our
fluids and tissues is "unacceptable". She has real issues with bronch bx and washings being taken in the same procedure but getting
separa= te SP and CY accession numbers. We have done what we could on
our end= by keeping the specimens together when they are turned out to
the patholog= ists and by making order comments on each case
referencing the other access= ion number. My question is, how have
other labs handled this issue?&n= bsp; Is this as big of a deal as she
is making it out to be? The path= ologist who did give some input
into our build did not seem to have a probl= em with this and helped
us find our current solution. What have other= 's experiences been?
